[heavy maple]

I spent most of my time on abb roughly 600 days there loved that map so much

[mortal topaz]

Like I enjoy go on just Raptors or maybe not an op dino. Not saying go defenseless.

[sleek jolt]

I wanna know how good this games anti cheat is gonna be

[brittle flame]

Can we get ASA already?

[indigo robin]

no

[heavy maple]

No I see what you're saying completely and I think you're absolutely right

[indigo robin]

you can right now
you just need to get your hands on a time machine

[heavy maple]

I do love a small land dino adventure at night

[sleek jolt]

Yea but then I need a hacker to go with me and try to aimbot me 😂

[heavy maple]

Is it bad to be more excited for a dinosaur game than my 6 year old? 🤣

[sleek jolt]

Nah man

Going on 7 years playing this game it’s a love hate relationship

[heavy maple]

He'll inside you and leave you there 🤣

[past sentinel]

I watch Unreal Engine youtube channel one video where they were showing off time of day transition and it got me interested to see it in ASA

[indigo robin]

thank you you just gave me an idea for a meme

[sleek jolt]

I’ve already dealt with arks biggest insider a while back, I’ll cage him

[sleek jolt]

Send it my way

[heavy maple]

Same here started on beta before we had a light where we died and had to move base due to the island changing had roughly 1000 days played I'd have to check possibly more

[indigo robin]

sure thing

youll see it on reddit anyway

[heavy maple]

My son be saying daddy how many sleeps then I come on here how many sleeps? 🤣

[sleek jolt]

Between multiple PlayStation accounts , steam and windows 10 Idek how many hours

[sleek jolt]

Ngl man I don’t have Reddit anymore

[heavy maple]

Such an incredible game man helped me through so much shiz over the years such an easy way to just shut off and talk to fellow arkers in party chat or global

[past sentinel]

Reddit probably 30% reliable at best and 70% just trolling

[sleek jolt]

That’s the part I love about this game, have countless friends over the years now all over the world I still talk too even if it’s not ark related.

[sleek jolt]

Too generous on the reliable part

[past sentinel]

Yeah probably, I was being generous lol

#1110949794907684965 #1110925695900713072

[sleek jolt]

Haha

[heavy maple]

Same here met an incredible guy who lived across the world 6 years later we talk on the phone Facebook friends seen his first born all from a dinosaur game that I accidentally came across when visiting my brother he said its only a week old it's pretty good tho. I went home put it on download and here we are

[sleek jolt]

Same scenario with getting the game my good buddy showed it to me, he stopped playing and well now I’m stuck playing this game it’s hard not too. But that’s awesome man, truly a great game

[limber fjord]

will people still be able to buy old ark after release of the remaster?

[green shuttle]

when is the game coming out

[limber fjord]

at the end of month

[barren patrol]

can't see why not...

[limber fjord]

and trailer (probably few min of gameplay) tomorrow

[green shuttle]

thanks, im super excited

[copper iron]

to be honest

i wouldnt be surprised if they decided to release the game with the trailer

but i dunno

this giving me ark genesis 2 vibes all over again 😦

[green shuttle]

why would they do that

[polar tendon]

[limber fjord]

i mean true these 6 days wont make big diff

[lyric iron]

Anyone heard anything about geforce now and ASA?

I want to know if I have to build my wife a PC or if she can use geforce now as she did in ASE

[vernal garnet]

Well I stupidly decided to update to Windows 11 today and got stuck in a repair loop. Had to take the tower into the repair shop because I had no means to make a repair disk. The game will now drop tonight. You're welcome.

[vale dust]

We know if they are gonna fix crossbow and long neck reload?

[copper iron]

i dont think theyd release it now but not sure

im planning on upgrading my pc asoon as i get a job just for ark 💀

[limber fjord]

we know nothing about geforce now and ASA

[copper iron]

imagine they drop the trailer and it says ''comming in 2024

[celest rampart]

thats kinda what I'm saying. If the game is passed cert and ready, which is probably why the trailer is launching from xbox, theres just no reason to wait. They cant push another build out prior to release, and I don't think they can even push a day 1 patch out for consoles until it launches and then its gotta go in cert again anyways. Steam is the exception but I doubt they'll push on console and make steam wait, and instead just give steam the day 1 patch if they need be

[copper iron]

nahh that would be too funny

[celest rampart]

unless theirs some business management reason to launch it on any other day than a wednesday I just dont see the reason to wait if its ready

[copper iron]

yh i think its fine honestly

either way we have only like a couple of days of waiting

so its no biggie

[polar tendon]

hahaha

release late 2026 (early access late 2025)

[copper iron]

here i am talking about ark when i have my final senior highschool state exams in 6 days 💀

[celest rampart]

well you have tonight to finish it

get to it chief

[polar tendon]

ASA happens once, exams happen daily

[copper iron]

not really,these are the final exams ever

[polar tendon]

for you**

[copper iron]

then i graduate next month on the 18th 💀

i live in australia so yh

[polar tendon]

ASA >>> Life xD

[copper iron]

i cant lie im hyped, despite not seeing anything, im hella excited

[polar tendon]

Saaameeee

I can't wait to play anymore

Gonna play on x1 farming so I have more time to spend till the dlcs come.

[copper iron]

oh god

[polar tendon]

x2***

[copper iron]

why...

[polar tendon]

x1 is gonna kill me xD

2x farming 3/4x taming should be fine

we shouldn't be rushing with high settings in the beginning

[copper iron]

like i said before, im gonna try and get a new pc before christmas, if i can cop a job

[polar tendon]

enjoy the game, build a small cool raft, explore with new graphics etc.

[copper iron]

just for ark 😦

[coarse wave]

I'll just spend the time doing mutations for fun. Dragon vs army of super dilos let's go

[polar tendon]

put 2x farm 3x tame but breeding around 20x then it's still fun and grindy

[runic olive]

Anyone see that carno pic ? Was it legit ?

[copper iron]

oh yh i heard, apps no cryo??

[polar tendon]

wasn't that the ARK2 pic

[coarse wave]

Yeah; I enjoy at least a little grind but not so much it feels like a chore. and assuming we'll be able to transfer stuff actoss maps... 👀

[midnight mountain]

@heavy cedar @viral shore when will we see an updated roadmap is the plan still to have gen 2 out by next summer if not what's the time frame looking like. There are a lot of creatures from the later DLCs that me and I'm sure many others are going to miss. Also will there be any updates to the Island creature list

[runic olive]

It had the survival ascended logo, I just don’t know if it’s real or not it’s on the Facebook group. Looked good still

[polar tendon]

I'm gonna try to start out empty with my char on every map to have the full feeling

[lyric iron]

someone will have to go map out the new mutations on each dino now that they've changed it. we no longer know what 1 mutation will do on a stat for any dino!

[polar tendon]

well 2 mins of photoshop and it's there + u get shares and likes

[bleak flare]

Would be awesome if they added physical mutations as well as stat mutations to ASA.

[runic olive]

That was my thought. But seeing the rex and yuti one posted by Xbox earlier has me all confused now.

[polar tendon]

u mean stuff like height etc.?

[copper iron]

im planning on once all the dlcs come out, on doing a proper playthrough through all of them

[bleak flare]

Or like new horns, extra limbs, bigger teeth etc.

[quick lintel]

physical mutations on dinos...buff dodos anyone?

[copper iron]

since i never actually completed ark 😦

rip my credit card

[polar tendon]

official Xbox ?

[bleak flare]

I'd breed some mega buff Dodos.

Some real beefers

[polar tendon]

it would be cool if the dinos had a min. and max. physical mutation they could get yeah

[runic olive]

Yes they made a new Twitter post today, 3 or 4 screenshots of tomorrows event, one of which being ark. It’s small size

[polar tendon]

I just checked twitter and didn't see it, lemme see again

[cerulean wind]

Yea I don’t see anything either

[polar tendon]

are u sure u saw a twiter post or screenshots of twitter posts

[tough yarrow]

#announcements has all info

[runic olive]

It’s actually like a 8 second video post made 3 hours ago. Watch it

[runic olive]

Titles “were getting down to business tomorrow “

[runic olive]

It actually doesn’t have the newest screenshot Xbox dropped a few hours ago

[polar tendon]

Oh u have to log in first

[tough yarrow]

It has a link to the official Xbox twitter.

[celest rampart]

I'm not seeing any screenshot son xbox twitter, just a cover art

in that 12 sec vidoe

[polar tendon]

Yeah cover art

[celest rampart]

oh I thought someone said plural screenshots

[polar tendon]

It was supposed to be that

But I also just see a cover art

[runic olive]

Plural for different games, only one was ark, and yeah just cover art, screenshot was wrong word, but new picture !!

[celest rampart]

ah

looks neat, generic but neat

[polar tendon]

release 2026

or, at the end of the trailer we see release together with GTA VI

oops wrong ping

@tall minnow pls tell me you don't edit the message urself the whole time

I guess it's some kind of automatic countdown otherwise that would be called torture lol

[fading nacelle]

yea its a discord feature the countdown

[polar tendon]

seeing it the first time

[tough yarrow]

It's a timestamp generator,

yk if u wait 20 hours u won't have to send that anymore xD

u should send it exactly at the release of the "news" "trailer" "game"

[tall minnow]

ye im just sitting here doing that 😢

[polar tendon]

hahahahaha

[celest rampart]

I send it in hopes that others will join

together we will summon more news today

༼ つ ◕◕ ༽つ Summon ASA News ༼ つ ◕◕ ༽つ

even after 2 hours of spamming the dc we still didn't get news on when the news will come :)

eventually you will just be muted for spamming lmao

[celest rampart]

have faith, we still succeed

[copper iron]

wait who is this?

[polar tendon]

A very secret person

[copper iron]

is it like a dev?

[lyric iron]

It's santa, this is what he does the rest of the year

[copper iron]

oi nah fr im accs confused

[polar tendon]

Nice question, I'm happy to answer you that in 200 years.

[dark vortex]

Look at their profile

[tough yarrow]

Jat is the senior product manager for WC

[sinful knot]

It blows my mind that they're not even allowed to tell us the minimum specs. So many people will be unprepared. In Official PVE, that time lost scrambling for hardware could be the difference in losing a build spot forever.

[copper iron]

yoo

so like they intereact with the mandem allot yh?

since he casually replied to a ping

[tough yarrow]

They jump in here and chat when they can

[copper iron]

yoo thats accs sick

nah i got a few bones to pick with them

[hidden iris]

Pve don’t matter

[eternal stump]

Oh billy

[sinful knot]

Playercount says otherwise

[hidden iris]

Not really

[silent matrix]

i have 4000 metal now for to smelt for the industrial forge yay

now metal making is gonna be much more easier and food cooking

does the industrial forge need to be powered by a generator?

[ripe forum]

Any updates today? Been to busy to check everything

Imagine needing gasoline in something goated

[buoyant plank]

If you have a bomb vest

[night seal]

[polar tendon]

I have to change my answer them, I'm Walter White

[mystic siren]

is this a real question

[timber ivy]

depends if its on geforce now or not lol

[night seal]

Yes

[silent matrix]

dang it

[night seal]

I have IOS 69?

[buoyant plank]

Arent they making a mobile version of ASE rn

Like its based off the nintendo version

[night seal]

It already exists

[mystic siren]

[timber ivy]

Ase mobile is already out

[buoyant plank]

I know but they are gonna remaster it

Like with the nintendo switch version

Perfect. Let me grab the popcorn

[viscid shuttle]

waltuh

[polar tendon]

we still need saul and gus hahaha

how about we all change our profiles to some dino lmao

[manic spindle]

should invent new color of narctotic

[shell hull]

If I want to play ark (like actually make a base and do things that take time) should I just wait for ASA?

[buoyant plank]

Probably yeah

[eternal stump]

Wait for ark 2

[polar tendon]

just wait bro, it's some days.

[night seal]

aRight

[polar tendon]

Bro has to become 200 years old for that

[manic spindle]

wait for pixark 2

[buoyant plank]

Im still playing a singleplayer cluster tho i wanna see the game before i buy it

[polar tendon]

u look like the perfect Saul Goodman

[night seal]

Please don’t speak

[polar tendon]

hahahaha

[shell hull]

So is ASA like it’s own thing, or is it Ark but looks better? I know like nothing about it.

[polar tendon]

ARK without bugs

JESSE, UR BANNER JESSE

NO PINK PROFILE

that's what I wanna see

Jesse to troodons: "We Tried To Poison You. We Tried To Poison You Because You’re An Insane, Degenerate Piece Of Filth, And You Deserve To Die"

"go sleep like Jane did" 💀

Let's change our server profile to ark dinos lmao

hahaha yeah

[brittle compass]

Does anyone have the ASA logo in full HD with the background removed?

[polar tendon]

u mean no background ?

If yes I can make it and send it to u if u like

[brittle compass]

Ayeeee look at me

[limber copper]

I only like Husso

For the wings

[polar tendon]

cmon guys it's just a server profile join us

[past sentinel]

Like the one on my profile?

[polar tendon]

if it's 1920 x 1080 then I guess yeah :D

[limber copper]

Boston myself but a st louis local

[past sentinel]

Nah it 1250 x 1250, found it on google

[polar tendon]

I was gonna make one but it was gonna take longer and the dms are for friends only

[stiff dust]

The new dreadnaughtus is an absolute chad Dino

[polar tendon]

wanted to know what they need it for tbh

[stiff dust]

Definitely gonna be taming some of them to use over gigas for the titan fights even if they’re garbage which I doubt sense I imagine they’ll be good titan killers

[fathom sleet]

Is there a offical drop date?!

[coarse wave]

Not quite; but we know something's going down tomorrow

[haughty vigil]

This direwolf just teamed up with an oviraptor and killed my raptor

[mighty bone]

tomorrow is the first look at gameplay for asa

[amber cedar]

Uhh, if I may ask, how much HP does a tuso normally shave during the three minute taming cooldown when it's strangling its meal?

[sharp stream]

I enabled fear evolved and it made the night shorter??

[solemn marsh]

which is better steam version or windows?

[mighty bone]

steam

but tbh im biased, lol

[brittle compass]

@past sentinel Yes

[solemn marsh]

why?

[grim narwhal]

Is it likely ASA will run better on my current GPU than ASE?

[midnight minnow]

It better

[celest rampart]

I believe it'll have dlss 3 and FSR

so technically yes with those enabled

[grim narwhal]

What are those?

[celest rampart]

resampling I believe is what its called, sizes down game to a lower res, then AI upscales it with your gpu

[lyric iron]

the sandboxing on uwp apps (store) could make the windows version harder to hack I guess + lets face it there will be 5,000,000 steam users on day 1 and probably only 1,000,000 windows users so you might actually get in to a server on windows store

[celest rampart]

makes it easier to run games, just gives it slightly blurrier edges

[solemn marsh]

say nothing more, tho I did hear u get better fps on windows

[celest rampart]

a lot of games use it nowadays

[frosty comet]

Anyone know if Steam and Windows Store ASA will perform differently like ASE did?

[scarlet violet]

hey everyone can 1 person help me

[celest rampart]

the real kicker is if it'll have FSR 3.0 and/or DLSS frame gen, thoes are the huge fps boosters

[past sentinel]

Send me a message so I can send it to you, your DM are on friends only.

[grim narwhal]

Ngl I kinda like that. Makes it more realistic

[celest rampart]

its preference

[mighty bone]

i dont use mods. ive got almost 6k hrs in ark all of it vanilla. steam is just better because they are strictly games. windows has to split their focus cuz they own everything from games to operating systems to programs like word

[solemn marsh]

was wondering the same thing

[celest rampart]

everybody can run FSR, including non amd and high end gpus, dlss 1.0 requires 20 series, dlss 2.0 requires 30 series, and dlss 3 requires 40 series cards from nvidia

[frosty comet]

@solemn marsh So far I’ve been told there won’t be which would be ideal. Just tryna play crossplay with my Xbox friends since steam won’t have it at launch

[solemn marsh]

ye I heard about the crossplay thingy do u know when it comes out for steam? I like steams little features like the hour count and steam friends and I mostly use steam for my games

[mighty bone]

full crossplay will be 3 months after launch

they are releasing it in stages

[celest rampart]

I'm not expecting 3 months, thats a huge undertaking

I'm still in speculation that gets dropped

[solemn marsh]

whoa whoa whoa what

[frosty comet]

@solemn marsh I’ve read it will be early next year that the game will be fully crossplay with Steam. Only thing preventing me from buying it on Steam at launch tbh

[polar tendon]

ASE runs worse than Elden Ring, I hope so haha

[mighty bone]

Phase 2: Full Crossplay - Time frame December (This is a Wildcard ETA ;))
TLDR: Crossplay is now enabled for ALL PLATFORMS. Meaning Steam can play with Xbox and vice versa.

directly from the 381 CC

[frosty comet]

@polar tendon Big facts lol

[polar tendon]

My pc is chill with 140 fps in Warzone but 90 at ARK is full speed fans haha

[solemn marsh]

buying it twice might be what I have to do

[mighty bone]

stage 3 is when they add crossplay progression

sometime 2024

[haughty vigil]

What the hell is ramshackle

[frosty comet]

@solemn marsh I’d just get it on Windows store for now. It’s a pain but honestly performance wasn’t as bad as people made it out to be on ASE, for me at least

[polar tendon]

Item Quality

[haughty vigil]

Is it just above primitive

[mighty bone]

yep

[celest rampart]

a shackle of rams

[haughty vigil]

First time seeing it

[solemn marsh]

I see what about mods?

[delicate adder]

anyone german here

[lyric iron]

this, just buy it again on steam when it's heavily discounted and cross progression is enabled, for now you'll get access to cross play and far less aimbots.

[sharp stream]

is it normal for nests to kind of just.. disappear?

theres also no crystal wyvern heirs spawning, why is that?

[polar tendon]

Primitive white⚪ , Ramshackle green🟢 , Apprentice dark blue🫐 , Journeyman purple🟣 , Masetrcraft golden🪙 , Ascendant cyan🔵

[haughty vigil]

Ty

[polar tendon]

but before ascendant was red and I liked that more :)

you're welcome

[sharp stream]

nevermind I found the nest

[polar tendon]

I really hope they will make it red for ASA again

[sharp stream]

no wyvern in sight though

[thorn jolt]

When is asa releasing ?

[polar tendon]

we'll probably know tomorrow

in 19 hours we'll know

[thorn jolt]

Oh

Ok

[haughty vigil]

I just tamed a pegomstax

[polar tendon]

by mistake or on purpose xD

[haughty vigil]

Can i like send them to take stuff

[haughty vigil]

Mistake

[polar tendon]

Only people with 10k hours in ARK can do that

[past sentinel]

Gameplay reveal at the Xbox Partner Preview, #announcements has the time in your timezone

[polar tendon]

join us bro, dino squad

[copper iron]

Honestly i habe a feeling that ark acended will have very large scale changes, to the point where it becomes unregonisable from the og game

But idk

[amber cedar]

Can platform saddles come in different rarities or is that only for normal saddles?

[dim lodge]

Any way to know the loot tables for cave drops on every map ?

[dim lodge]

They come in all rarities

[polar tendon]

They can come in all rarities

[amber cedar]

Awesome

[thorn jolt]

How do I make drops spawn in caves I took the drops from the aberrant cave on fjordun like 2 days ago and they stopped spawning

[dim lodge]

Did you place any structures in there ?

[thorn jolt]

No

Before I took the drops the dinos were not spawning

[lunar haven]

if you're playing in single player, it takes a long time for things to respawn.

[thorn jolt]

Only cave drops on that cave are not spawning

Ecerything else spawn after like an 1 2 hours

[past sentinel]

Alright

[polar tendon]

ayyeeee

[hidden monolith]

So anyone planning on playing official or unofficial?

[past sentinel]

Unofficial, will be looking for one that discord run RP direction

[hidden monolith]

Is Official still going be a full time job

[mental hatch]

Official is the way

[lyric iron]

we don't even know if they'll release the stand alone game server outside of their partner nitrado yet do we ?

if I ran a hosting company and basically paid a chunk of cash to get the game finished, I might ask for this condition

[past sentinel]

Nah a good balanced rate between wild/tamed creatures and survivors in a discord ran unofficial hard to beat.

[tired zealot]

Hope there are godly new overhaul mods!

[shadow summit]

will we get all the DLCs free with the game or are they paid seperately?

[lyric iron]

all of the current dlc is included

[past sentinel]

Only paid DLC is the exclusive ASA maps

[shadow summit]

thanks:)

[waxen cedar]

steam friends can i have some help

[shadow summit]

ye

[waxen cedar]

okay so im redownloading ark right

[shadow summit]

ye

[waxen cedar]

it downloads at like maybe 40mbps then stops

[sharp stream]

why did my riot armor vanish from the storage?

[waxen cedar]

at 0b for a few then at like 9mbps

this happened last time i tried to update ark and it just wont download

[shadow summit]

you have to fully close and reopen steam

[waxen cedar]

its doing it again too which sucks becuase i kinda just rediscovered my love for this game via xbox

[waxen cedar]

like in task manager?

[errant cloak]

Is the dynamic water on Asa the only implementation using fluidninja? I was hoping the same tool to be used on foliage but they only say it is interactive foliage…

[waxen cedar]

becuase I updated other games and they did it fine

[past sentinel]

Are you on Series X/S?

[waxen cedar]

nope steam

[shadow summit]

you can just click the arrow on the left then right click close

[waxen cedar]

okay

[shadow summit]

*right

[mint coyote]

19 hours

[lyric iron]

is the "throttle downloads while streaming" option ticked in the download options? I sometimes get this when I'm streaming movies while downloading.. even though I have more than enough bandwidth to do both

[waxen cedar]

ark will still be downloading even if i close it though

[sharp stream]

nvm my beaver was holding it for some reason

[past sentinel]

Ah saw the "via xbox" part

[waxen cedar]

ill check

[shadow summit]

no but it doesn't restart the progress

[waxen cedar]

its enabled should i turn it off

[shadow summit]

yes

[waxen cedar]

ok

[lyric iron]

I find with it off it doesn't stop me streaming

[waxen cedar]

okay gonna close outta steam now

[shadow summit]

and make sure the allow downloading while playing a game is enabled

[waxen cedar]

yeah it didn't work... didnt even restart the download actually

[lyric iron]

speedtest dot net, see if your connection is actually ok I guess

[waxen cedar]

its really good on other games i get like 110mbps like on overwatch 2 for example

i think its an ark only problem? it did the same when i tried to install tsotf

[waxen cedar]

yeah did that too

its been at 0mbps for like a whole minute now atleast

[lyric iron]

damn, bad game to have a slow download on like 300 gig+? I've seen it myself before on single games but never known why. I've just checked ark download and it's going full speed at 100MB/sec+ so it's not an issue there (not that it helps you!)

[shadow summit]

try restarting your computer

[mighty bone]

sometimes clearing the download cache helps. also make sure the download region is correct

[waxen cedar]

download region is correct

should i clear cache while downloading?

[mighty bone]

pause it first

[waxen cedar]

what happens to steam and game im downloading if i restart

[waxen cedar]

okay

[mighty bone]

it pauses

and when u launch steam again it should start back up

[waxen cedar]

it says i need to log into steam again

[mighty bone]

yeah

[waxen cedar]

gonna find my password rq

okay gonna do it now

okay it says stopping download for ark survival evolved

[mighty bone]

thats normal

[waxen cedar]

oh shit its gonna do what it did last time

last time i gave up on ark and when i tried to cancel the download steam kept not responding

[waxen cedar]

how long should it take for it to stop the download

[mighty bone]

for ark a minute or 2 sometimes 3

[waxen cedar]

okay

so apparently this had something to do with me downloading tsotf with too many dlc installed in ase

thats what ppl told me last time

[mighty bone]

yeah dont download sotf

[waxen cedar]

also i think i cleared my cache last time and it didnt help but we will see

[mighty bone]

not until after u have ark itself downloaded

[waxen cedar]

yeah def if this works

[lyric iron]

I asked gpt, it basically said download cache, download region.. some stupid things.. try a steam beta and.. reinstall stream lol

[waxen cedar]

well thats what i did last time but i has ase installed

then tsotf was doing what ase is doing rn

i guess it spread to ase

[mighty bone]

when was the last time u tried ark?

[haughty vigil]

Why is there so much low level raptors near me

[waxen cedar]

lol will try all exept reinstall

[lyric iron]

what if you change region to something else that's not too far away?

[waxen cedar]

what is your difficulty level?

[haughty vigil]

Max

[lyric iron]

maybe the route between you and the steam server is having trouble

[waxen cedar]

yeah ill def try that

[haughty vigil]

Their like level 20-50

[mighty bone]

did u enable max level dinos?

[haughty vigil]

Yep

[waxen cedar]

would going to win 11 help at all either?

its still trying to stop the download

[mighty bone]

then force close steam

[haughty vigil]

Its the same with all the other animal dinos their like level 20

[waxen cedar]

with task manager?

[mighty bone]

yup

[waxen cedar]

alrighty?

[lyric iron]

shift-control-escape, and close that fecker

[waxen cedar]

could that do anything bad?

[mighty bone]

nope

[lyric iron]

nah, steam verifies every file so even if it messes up one it'll download it again

[mighty bone]

what map u playing on?

[waxen cedar]

hmm it seems steam has a lot of assosiated tasks

[mighty bone]

yep

close all of them

[waxen cedar]

i assume 32 bit is the one i close

not client service

[lyric iron]

that's the one

[mighty bone]

the 32 bit should close all of them

[waxen cedar]

yep all the steam things are gone

okay now what should i do

reopen steam?

[mighty bone]

yes

[waxen cedar]

okay

[lyric iron]

it'll probably check the download, you can stop that if you want to change download region to something else to see if there is a route issue

[mighty bone]

that

[waxen cedar]

yeah it says starting download

[mighty bone]

yeah pause it so u can check the next closest region

[waxen cedar]

and the progress is already restored?

[mighty bone]

yes

[waxen cedar]

its exactly where it was

[lyric iron]

gota love steam

[waxen cedar]

pausing rn

[mighty bone]

yeah it starts back up from where it left off

[waxen cedar]

and it wont pause

just says stopping download

this is the very thing that happened last time

[mighty bone]

it takes a minute

the larger the game the longer it takes

[waxen cedar]

oh shit it actually did pause

[mighty bone]

now u can try changing ur region to the next closest one

and see if it helps

[waxen cedar]

ok

[lyric iron]

long shot but it's always worth checking

[mighty bone]

this^

[waxen cedar]

ill go to us sac ig

okay steam just restarted

[mighty bone]

normal

[waxen cedar]

AYYYY

256mbps

thanks yall

[mighty bone]

give it a few minutes and make sure it doesnt just slowly go down to 0

[waxen cedar]

alr its going down but staying around 170

okay now around 60

and every few seconds it says 0

yep 0 again

[mighty bone]

but is it staying there?

[waxen cedar]

no actually its going up again

[mighty bone]

k

[waxen cedar]

14 hours tho

not normal

[lyric iron]

asa will be out by then and you'll have to download it again 😄

[waxen cedar]

1.3 mbps..

[waxen cedar]

yeah lmao

[mighty bone]

have u tried restarting ur router? maybe its dealing with packet loss

[waxen cedar]

just unplug then replug it?

[mighty bone]

wait about 30 sec to a minute

[waxen cedar]

alr ig

[mighty bone]

then plug it back in

also ur modem

[waxen cedar]

should i pause the download first

[mighty bone]

i always do both the modem and router. i would

[lyric iron]

also, if you have a vpn that you use at all, maybe turn it on and see if it works through that.

[waxen cedar]

whats the difference

[mighty bone]

the modem is what talks to the internet and the router is what u plug ur computer into

the modem comes from the internet provider

[waxen cedar]

oh i dont have a router then

[mighty bone]

sometimes the modem and router are one machine

[waxen cedar]

i use wireless

[mighty bone]

do u have one machine or 2 for ur internet?

[waxen cedar]

uh 1 motem and a couple of those wireless extenders

[mighty bone]

then the router is built into ur modem

[waxen cedar]

oh okay

[mighty bone]

they are one machine. so yeah just unplug that, wait about a minute until u actually lose internet, then plug it back in

[waxen cedar]

alr see you on the other side

oh wait also pause the download first right

[mighty bone]

i would

[waxen cedar]

okay

[sharp stream]

why no tropical crystal wyvern eggs?

[waxen cedar]

okay im back

what was that supposed to do again

should i unpause?

okay seems to be downloading fine for now

[lyric iron]

what was the cure in the end?

[mighty bone]

no idea why no tropical eggs. there is supposed to be but i have never seen one spawn

[waxen cedar]

restarting the motem

its floating around like 100 mbps

scratch that

its at 10mbps

[rocky granite]

I believe they intended to leave them out of the game for the sole purpose of taming to get your own eggs

[waxen cedar]

says it would take 21hrs to finish

[mighty bone]

but there are ember and blood eggs

in the desert

[waxen cedar]

yeah the heirs drop them right

[mighty bone]

tropical wyverns spawn there along with the blood and ember but there is never a tropical egg. just the ember and blood

yeah the heirs

[rocky granite]

I know, it doesn’t make sense.

[waxen cedar]

okay its stupid slow still

[mighty bone]

its stupid cuz u can get 225 ember and blood eggs from there but ur stuck with just the passive tame tropical ones

[waxen cedar]

i have a few fixes im gonna try

[mighty bone]

sometimes steam is just super f-ing slow and decided to take forever. i have the same problem with icarus. it take FOREVER to patch that game. even small ones.

[lyric iron]

You'll probably just find tomorrow it works fine

[waxen cedar]

how long is forever?

[waxen cedar]

idk becuase this is the 2nd times this has happened

[mighty bone]

like 5 hrs for a 10gb patch.......

[waxen cedar]

but it works in the end?

[mighty bone]

yeah

[waxen cedar]

oh also if i delete the ark tsotf folder from steam library what would happen

the game is undownloaded and the file is empty

but i think the tsotf may be conflicting with it

[mighty bone]

one last question. hard drive or ssd?

[waxen cedar]

ssd is the one in your pc right

if so then ssd

[mighty bone]

u can have both hard drive and ssd in ur pc.

[waxen cedar]

hm

[mighty bone]

solid state is like the m.2

[waxen cedar]

file explorer says that the thing im downloading on is data d

[lyric iron]

do you normally get full speed on steam downloads? if so then I doubt your disk is the issue (unless it's nearly full)

[waxen cedar]

nah 700 gb left

[mighty bone]

or its going bad

[waxen cedar]

its kinda slow ig?

i have a few new ideas actually

i know you can check off your dlc that you want to download on steam

[mighty bone]

so when ur looking at the steam download. is the green line high? or low?

yes u can

[waxen cedar]

so what if i try just downloading the island

[mighty bone]

u can do that

[waxen cedar]

up and down and up and down

[halcyon egret]

Yo is there a looking for group chat?

[vernal garnet]

Right click title. Go to dlcs and unchecked the ones you don't why

[waxen cedar]

would i have to stop the download first

[mighty bone]

yes

[vernal garnet]

Want

[waxen cedar]

okay how

[mighty bone]

just hit stop

[vernal garnet]

Look up

[waxen cedar]

where

[mighty bone]

on the ark page

[waxen cedar]

it says download

[mighty bone]

scroll down to dlc

[waxen cedar]

because i paused it

do i uninstall it?

[mighty bone]

yes

[waxen cedar]

ok

uninstalling

should take a good while

[mighty bone]

uninstall is way faster than install

[waxen cedar]

ok done

[waxen cedar]

thats for sure lol

okay now what dlc then

[mighty bone]

now on the ark page in ur library scroll down to the dlc's and uncheck everything

[waxen cedar]

ok

i see where it says dlc

[mighty bone]

click on manage my dlc

[waxen cedar]

it shows them under notes but i cant click on them

oh i see it

should i unsub to my mods too?

[mighty bone]

yes

well no

cuz they arent downloaded until u launch the game

[waxen cedar]

oh ok

okay now i only need to install 128 gb

lets try it

actually i might switch back to my closer download region first

would that be potentially helpful

[mighty bone]

so when u start the download again watch the green line when the network speed is at zero. and yeah u always want the closest region if u can help it

[waxen cedar]

okay

yeah its usually the network going down then the green follows

if i remember

wtf

i started the download then it stopped instantly

shit disk write error

green went up then crashed down it seems

[mighty bone]

yeah its having trouble getting the files to ur drive. try restarting ur computer

[deep knoll]

How do I get the new part of ark?

[waxen cedar]

okay will do rq

see you in a few

[mighty bone]

if ur talking about asa then its not out yet

[deep knoll]

When does that come out?

[mighty bone]

within the next week

we dont have an actual date yet

hopefully tomorrow

[waxen cedar]

alr just restarted

oh its tommorow???

[mighty bone]

were getting gameplay tomorrow

during the xbox partner preview

[waxen cedar]

okay download is working

[deep knoll]

What does asa stand for?

[mighty bone]

ark survival ascended

[deep knoll]

Ohh

I would just call it ark ascended so that’s why I asked

[mighty bone]

and train if ur still having issues with the download then i would just wait for asa

[deep knoll]

Are u able to get modded caves on PlayStation platform or can’t?

[mighty bone]

u will be able to with asa

[quasi vine]

When is ark asa coming out? I thought it was today

[deep knoll]

Hyped asf for the asa

[waxen cedar]

yeah but looks like download should be fine

[mighty bone]

ok

[waxen cedar]

but yeah if doesn't work im just gonna go back to my xbox save lmao

thank you so so much for your time helping 🙂

[mighty bone]

no problem

and were getting asa news tomorrow diamond during the xbox partner preview stream

check the announcements channel for the time of that in ur local time zone

[waxen cedar]

the one here right

[mighty bone]

yeah

[versed summit]

will be have south america servers?

[mighty bone]

we dont know yet

[rocky granite]

I laugh at those who say the game is releasing tomorrow. I mean, this is Wildcard we’re talking about, they aren’t capable of releasing anything in a timely manner.

[mighty bone]

im assuming that yes we will have servers for every continent

[lyric iron]

Their hosts have servers everywhere, a quick google search came up with
Los Angeles, United States of America
New York, USA
Miami, USA
Dallas, USA (Coming Soon)
London, United Kingdom
Frankfurt, Germany
Tokyo, Japan
Singapore, Singapore
Sao Paulo, Brazil
Sydney, Australia

for their "tier-3" data centers.. whatever that means.

AUGUST 17, 2022

[mighty bone]

thats outdated though

since they have to create new servers for asa

[versed summit]

I hope it's correct

[mighty bone]

the locations will most likely be similar though

[versed summit]

Before there was no SA server

[rocky granite]

I can’t see Nitrado excluding any country or continent they have hosted in the past for the original game.

[mighty bone]

i cant either

it would severely reduce their income from it

[compact hornet]

we go any new news

[rocky granite]

It’s all about the money, and when you make as much money as you have with a game like ARK, they’ll pull out all the stops for the new game.

[waxen cedar]

okay nope im waiting for asa

[mighty bone]

most likely friday

[waxen cedar]

yeah hopefully

[mighty bone]

and were getting news tomorrow

[waxen cedar]

lots of bugs and what nots i really hope are fixed in asa

[rocky granite]

If it releases this week at all.

[waxen cedar]

yeah, could be pushed back for who know how long

[mighty bone]

honestly i dont see them waiting any longer when they have been adament about it releasing this month

[rocky granite]

Again, this is Wildcard. A company who isn’t capable of releasing anything on time

[versed summit]

October ends on the 31st, Tuesday, but I believe they don't want to waste the weekend, so I think it launches on Friday

[craggy quail]

its gonna be out before the end of the month

100%

[rocky granite]

Part of me doubts that

[craggy quail]

they are under contract with Microsoft to release this month

[lyric iron]

didn't know this, I understand Nitrado's parent company lent them money with a condition it's released this month or they take ASE profits to pay it back but didn't know they were in an agreement to Microsoft too

[sly latch]

the trailer will end with available now

[rocky granite]

Here’s the thing though, for 8 years they’ve given us false hope by saying it will be out on a specific date then changing things at the last possible minute. There’s always been some sort of delay in their release schedules.

[young bronze]

^

[rocky granite]

If in fact it does release at some point this month, I will be surprised.

[lyric iron]

well if Microsoft are now showing game play I'm guessing it's passed their certification process which means it must be at least ready for release on their platforms

[versed summit]

maybe they want to redeem themselves

they always claim that when the trailer comes out, shortly after they launch the game

So launch Friday

[rocky granite]

If it comes out before my birthday on the 9th, I’ll be happy 😃

[lyric iron]

not sure I would do a major release on friday, all kinds of crap happens in the days following release of any software, employees taking the weekend off while the whole game goes to shit isn't exactly standard procedure

[versed summit]

launch weekday where not enough players which is not a common occurrence

[lyric iron]

I would drop this on Monday, still within the release window and give all the employees free beer and pizza tokens for a weekend of rest before the week of fire.

[upbeat jay]

Anyone else have this feeling of 🫠🫠🫠 after watching the first 4 ads for ark 2 and all of a sudden we are ramping up for a redo of ark 1….

[versed summit]

i also think

[rocky granite]

Having heard what they’re planning for Ark 2, I really don’t care about waiting another year or so.

They want to incorporate more Souls-like gameplay into Ark 2. The only Souls game I’ve played was Elden Ring, and didn’t get too much into it.

[cedar haven]

so if i’m playing on xbox my friend on pc downloads it on microsoft we can play together?

ok

[rocky granite]

Yes. The only crossplay not included will be Steam-Xbox for the time being

[lyric iron]

wait wasn't it steam on it's own then xbox, windows and ps5 together?

[cedar haven]

ok when he gets it on microsoft how do u invite him?

or make a server

[rocky granite]

My mistake, yes they did say that

[cedar haven]

oh where’s that? sorry ima a noob

ok thx

[lyric iron]

nitrado website says: We plan to release more information on server pricing as we get closer to opening pre-orders for ARK: Survival Ascended server hosting.

[dawn fiber]

Can corrupted raptors pounce?

[long slate]

when will ark asc be out

[night obsidian]

Do we go in debt like WC if we rent from nitrado?

[blazing flint]

Even better, around 35 on launch

[lime cove]

This month

[cedar haven]

how do i download ark on windows it’s not working

[lyric iron]

only if your parent company spends all your money

[lime cove]

Or maybe next one

[winged minnow]

will it be out by end of the month?

[night obsidian]

Aw man they gonna spend it on their chinese tesla knockoff

[zinc holly]

Hey this is just a question for anyone who might know, unless they just haven't said yet, but are we going to the get all the maps in ASA in the same order as we originally got them in, or are they going to add the story maps first and then all the community made ones

[slate widget]

sorta the correct order, center is being skipped tho.

scorched in december, Ab and rag in Q1.

[west tree]

Note runs day 1 ?

[zinc holly]

Ah okay, I see thank you very much :)

[full mist]

Sorry what is Q1

[slate widget]

quarter 1, first 3 months of the year

[zinc holly]

First quarter of next year

[honest ibex]

notes dont give exp they said

[west tree]

Thx u

[night obsidian]

Whyyyyyy don't we have the new dino on center??

[slate widget]

I'm fairly sure they haven't

[full mist]

Oh k thx

[hushed nacelle]

where'd they say that?

[slate widget]

🤷 they are probably going in the dino votes order.

[honest ibex]

yeah they said it, dollie did im sure that or extrememly nerfed and wont be in the same spots

[blazing flint]

All of our doubts and questions that haven't been answered will be answered very very soon

[cedar haven]

how do i download ark on windows it’s not working??

[hushed nacelle]

where's your source

[night obsidian]

To buy or not to buy

I ark therefore I am

[slate widget]

how is it not working?

[white shoal]

So will there be center in ascend

[blazing flint]

Definitely worth selling your soul for 😂

[west tree]

I just checked hes right look it up it dont take long to do some research

[slate widget]

eventually yes, we just don't have the date

[white shoal]

Yeah definitely there and definitely needs to be an upgrade to the ocean on that one

[hushed nacelle]

i cant find this info anywhere. where did you find this?

[slate widget]

didn't confirm anything just said they were thinking about it.

[hushed nacelle]

these dudes spreading so much false information i cant 💀

[blazing flint]

I just want to play broken or not

[white shoal]

Nice, I’m proud of that. I’m actually excited to see what 4K looks like withascend

[night obsidian]

I'm excited to see Ark but no money

How long before it gets back to 45$?

[blazing flint]

it's only going to be discounted for launch, I feel your pain

[night obsidian]

If it's only 35$ I feel more pain

[blazing flint]

We will get thousands of hours out of it

[night obsidian]

Btw where can I watch the trailer later at 1 am?

[white shoal]

What’s the price for the UK?

[blazing flint]

You can watch it live on Xbox YouTube channel

35 at launch

[night obsidian]

[slate widget]

I assume the stream will be posted to the xbox's channel in its entirety. probably indiviually everywhere

yes, the stream will be on both youtube and twitch

I thought they were asking where to watch it after it happened lol.

[sinful knot]

Ark more than likely goes last. They know views will plummet after its over.

[night obsidian]

Oh twitch also

[white shoal]

Will ascend get more clothes put in to the game eventually

Like different ones

[blazing flint]

Didn't even think about that, that's a negative thought I didn't need 😂😂

[slate widget]

its not long.

[modest bramble]

Hey guys

[brazen tundra]

will it be on xbox gamepass

[blazing flint]

No information about that man and it states on reveal they will not be talking about that

[silent matrix]

did the devs say anything about the bans? will they transition to ASA?

[fluid yarrow]

New game i cant imagine the bans stay

[night obsidian]

New game, it's not a dlc

👀

[sterile robin]

new game. Bans will not carry over

[blazing flint]

16 hours

[bold sundial]

New game new start

Is the chat usually this slow?

[fluid yarrow]

That means dont cheat and be bummy lmao

[night obsidian]

General chat very slow

[blazing flint]

It can be quite eventful but does get pretty dead at times

[craggy umbra]

skill issue

[bold sundial]

I like it

[night obsidian]

🔫

[bold sundial]

Allows for genuine conversation

[silent matrix]

🎸

[craggy umbra]

if ur here for genuine conversation ur in the wrong spot

[blazing flint]

Sometimes there's about 20 people talking at once so you try and scroll up and you've lost what you were looking for 😂

[bold sundial]

My point exactly

It just becomes a casm of people screaming for someone named dollie

[craggy umbra]

learn to read

[blazing flint]

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed

[bold sundial]

Mans slept on a rock

[night obsidian]

How about we take his username and shove it up his mouth to cure his grumpyness

[bold sundial]

I read the pfp and was like, erm lets not lol

[blazing flint]

This is the kind of stuff we can expect in global chat on the game in official

Who the hell was the bot just talk talking about

[vivid barn]

where can i buy asa

[craggy umbra]

steam but only via getting a gifted referal

paypal me the $60 and ill buy it for u

[vivid barn]

wdym gifted referal?

[night obsidian]

+kids screaming slurs 24/7

[craggy umbra]

it has to be gifted by someone who already has it

[vivid barn]

thats so weird

[past sentinel]

Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Windows, or Steam when it goes live. There will not be any pre-orders.

[blazing flint]

Definitely not looking forward to kids crying out four attention

[vivid barn]

how did the first person get it

lol

[craggy umbra]

no shit sherlock also whats with the username and pfp

[past sentinel]

Ignore Antidote he is trolling.

[craggy umbra]

cause im better

[craggy umbra]

thats not very nice, you shouldnt call others names cause ur jealous

[night obsidian]

Blocked

[craggy umbra]

lmao

[past sentinel]

Yep, best thing to do

[blazing flint]

Pay no attention, call it training for Global chat

[midnight tinsel]

Albion Online = ultimate global chat training

[craggy umbra]

at least ark doesnt have a constant stream of racial slurs and people asking where to find chestnut trees

[midnight tinsel]

Can't forget 24/7 femboy discussion

[craggy umbra]

yea they are not gonna stop especially with the new furry weapons

[blazing flint]

I wouldn't be surprised if they have gone the woke way and decide to ban people for saying things

[craggy umbra]

they try

they try so so hard

[blazing flint]

Ffs

[midnight tinsel]

I didn't quit that long ago and that place was pretty lawless still lol

So if they're moderating it's pretty recent

[craggy umbra]

scammed a guy for a mammoth he got muted for yelling slurs

[midnight tinsel]

Bruhhhhh

[blazing flint]

It's bad enough being policed on social media we don't need it on bloody game

[midnight tinsel]

That's hilarious 😂

[blazing flint]

That's hilarious, I can imagine his Fury

I need to know more about this backstory

[carmine timber]

Hey guys i really need help, im on ps5 my crystal isle server are not showing up after game crashed and restarted, it shows other server but not crystal isle maps

Is anyone else having problems or is it just me

[marsh raven]

Hyyyype

[blazing flint]

I think we all have problems to a degree

[carmine timber]

@blazing flint i mean im rather talking about a more specific one, all the crystal isle maps are not showing up

[dreamy linden]

Does wild dinos have stamina?

[unique sonnet]

how much is asa going to cost

[carmine timber]

Does your server list show crystal isle maps? @blazing flint

[amber cedar]

300 shotgun ammo crafted. Hopefully it'll be enough to tackle the cave at 41.5x 47.1y

[dreamy linden]

It's discounted $40.00 at launch, then raised up to $45.00 later.

[blazing flint]

I meant mentally 😂 no idea about the game issue your experiencing

[carmine timber]

@blazing flint yeah i figured, but are you on the game at all?

[unique sonnet]

ok thanks

[blazing flint]

Nope, patiently awaiting ascended 😍

[carmine timber]

Whens it coming out

[blazing flint]

Would love to be a troll and say tomorrow but nobody knows and we are all speculating but by the end of the month so they say

Trailer reveal in 16 hours

[carmine timber]

Ok well im not a crazy fan of ark i jst got bored and came back on it to play and after my game crashed started having this server list issues @blazing flint

[restive aurora]

Has there been any mention of it being in gamepass? I know ark evolved and ark 2 are/are gonna be on there I just wanna know about ascended

[blazing flint]

It may have something to do with the fact they disconnected all servers?

They shut down the end of September

[carmine timber]

I mean i was playing it yesterday and today, now its not there

[blazing flint]

Nun at all mate and looking pretty unlikely

[blazing flint]

Wtf yeah that's weird

[carmine timber]

Thays why im asking if its available for others

[restive aurora]

I don’t mind paying the 40 pounds but I’m really hoping for a last minute announcement

Like tomorrow or smth cause it’s in an Xbox showcase

[carmine timber]

If other people can access crystal isle maps then id know theres a fault on my end

[amber cedar]

Dammit I should have brought stimulants to the cave

[blazing flint]

I know on the website it states they will not be discussing Game Pass

[restive aurora]

Damn that sucks

[south jay]

damn what

[blazing flint]

Would love to send a screenshot but not allowed 😂

[wicked siren]

YOYOYOYOYOYOYOYOYOOOO

HI YALL

[amber cedar]

Well damn, the vampires kicked my ass and killed my otter
Fortunately it was my least valuable otter but that shit still hurt

[fallen harness]

Cryopods for island?? On Release day?

[quiet gull]

They already said no cryo on launch

[humble jetty]

Noobs

[fallen harness]

I didn’t know that

[amber cedar]

Maybe I do need to bring my Ankylosaur to this cave to take care of the vampires there

[gentle anvil]

So does the price for ASA cover all future DLCs?

too many price changes i cant keep up

[void dove]

Only the currently released DLCs

Scorched, Aberration, Extinction, Gen1 and 2

[past sentinel]

Yeah they are currently going to roll out everything with their respective maps which would be extinction for cryos. WC has said that not a set in stone decision if it becomes apparent they should add them sooner they would look into it.

[fallen harness]

Oh okay thank you man

[gentle anvil]

so 39.99 gets you every map that ASE had?

[past sentinel]

Yes

Only exclusive map for ASA is paid DLC

[gentle anvil]

I'm tryna sell my friends on it lol You're much appreciated @past sentinel

[bright trellis]

Wonder if we will get any free maps for asa too. Like modded maps that come to official

[void dove]

Seems likely, in time

[amber cedar]

Hmm, I could bring a gigantopithecus to the central cave... Hopefully.
And hopefully it won't get killed should I encounter the megalosaurus

[gentle anvil]

oh and gamepass huh? i mean i guess we'll know for sure tomorrow but there's speculation

Unfortunately they won't be discussing game pass in trailer reveal

[past sentinel]

That we know of, as far as we know there is no plans for immediate gamepass. Only Ark 2 has a launch spot for gamepass known.

[gentle anvil]

copy all!

they're pc nerds anyways

[granite warren]

Ok, a possible trailer release a few days before game release is kinda crazy O_O

[void dove]

Its really not that crazy. People are just so used to trailers wayyyyy before release these days

[gentle anvil]

Best case scenario the trailer ends with "What are you waiting for? Available now"

[compact granite]

I’m wicked excited for any outcome tbh , so long as we see the gameplay tmr

[late grail]

It would be awesome if they release ASA as they are doing the trailer

[blazing flint]

My god can't even think about that

[granite warren]

My worry is that it’ll go “Xbox timed exclusive” T_T

[quiet falcon]

Huh

[winged hamlet]

it's coming out for ps5 too

as far as i can tell

[quiet falcon]

They literally said they put certifications in for playstation

[granite warren]

Lol im just being paranoid xD

S’cuz the trailer’s coming out during an xbox streaming event

[winged hamlet]

it doesn't seem to be coming out for Switch though

[granite warren]

But yeah, am aware the game’s certified for all platforms alrdy

[winged hamlet]

which is funny given the big deal they made about ASE coming to switch

[granite warren]

ASE + Ark Switch Excluded

[blazing flint]

I obsessively keep checking the PS Store to see if it's in the just announced section but that's just me being optimistic

[granite warren]

Same here. I keep refreshing store xD

Where new Ark PSN???

[plucky heron]

hoping this game drops friday or thursday

[gentle anvil]

We could start a GoFundMe to bribe a dev to accidentally release the game....

1$ each from everyone in the discord....

[winged hamlet]

my bet is it drops next tuesday

[plucky heron]

no chance

[zenith trout]

Please God not Fri...devs will peace out for the weekend and if the game is unplayable, we're gonna just have to sit and wait til Mon, or Tue

[blazing flint]

They don't like performing updates on Tuesdays apparently so I think Tuesday release is a little far-fetched but we'll see

[winged hamlet]

tuesday makes sense for release and patch

[plucky heron]

they said this weeks gonna be fun

it’s coming out this week

didn’t mean to reply to that my bad

[zenith trout]

LOL no

[granite warren]

By “fun” they meant the lamentations of the players will be epic xD

[zenith trout]

Np

[blazing flint]

Annoying AF doing that 😂

[zenith trout]

Conan.....what is good in life

[past sentinel]

Getting gameplay footage could classify as that

[royal forum]

anyone get the feeling they already subtly told us the date when asked "without saying late October, when will ASA release?" Answer "End of October 😉 "

[winged hamlet]

most expansions have been released on tuesdays

except scorched earth and gen 2

[tawdry rampart]

I don’t think it will release this month. As much as I want it to

[winged hamlet]

they have to release this month or they lose a LOT of money

[plucky heron]

it won’t release last day that’s way to risky bruh

[amber cedar]

Maybe I could also bring my terrorbirds into the central cave. Or my beaver 🤔
I'm desperate to complete this cave

[royal forum]

theyre pretty muched forced too or they will be out of business

[past sentinel]

That have a financial obligation to meeting this deadline

[plucky heron]

it’s definitely this week

[tawdry rampart]

I just don’t wanna get my hopes up lol

[winged hamlet]

october 31 is literally the end of october

[royal forum]

@winged hamlet my toughts exactly

they have been known to subtly troll

[teal edge]

is the trailer coming before the gameplay ?

[winged hamlet]

the gameplay trailer is tomorrow

[compact granite]

High hopes?

[winged hamlet]

tempered expectations

[past sentinel]

Either they meet this deadline and Nitrado gets 20% of every sale of ASA to pay off that balance or they have to pay it all at once if they miss the October release

[compact granite]

fair

[winged hamlet]

i'm hopeful for a good and fun experience, but i know they've had less than a year to build the game in a completely new engine

[wintry tiger]

Hey everyone

[blazing flint]

Trailer is 15 hours

[compact granite]

I expect bugs but honestly I feel like a lot of the bugs is what makes ark fun, not thats an excuse to have a buggy game ofc

[granite warren]

I feel like they’ll def release it. At what state is the question xD

[royal forum]

20% of all games past, present, and future to my knowledge

[winged hamlet]

it's not like they're building it all from scratch, they at least have the game already to work from, but it's been a short turnaround

[blazing flint]

Even better

[past sentinel]

Something like that, I don't know all the specifics just remember following it from #ark-2 channel when I saw people discussing that

[royal forum]

which is financially crippling. We will at least see the Aplha drop by the end of the month... whether they like it or not

Best Prepare for server issues and bugs... Just like the good ol' days when you would be hitting join for an hour before you could get in and then get bugged out in 5 minutes

[frosty ivy]

Trailer tomorrow but at the end it says coming spring 2024

[past sentinel]

It gonna be EA so of course, but I am at least going unofficial so won't have to deal with the lawless official annoyance from people at least.

[spare lotus]

I would have preferred if it was built from scratch cause of the spaghetti code that is ASE lollll, but I mean hopefully they did get rid of the bugs from ASE in ASA

[winged hamlet]

i mean, it's not like you can port ue4 code into ue5

at least i think that's not how it works

[spare lotus]

Good point LOL

[winged hamlet]

ASE at least gives them a framework to copy from and build from the ground up in terms of coding

[amber cedar]

Maybe I should have brought my journeyman double barrel shotgun instead of my apprentice pump action shotgun

[winged hamlet]

what % are both?

[spare lotus]

Ahhh right yes I understand what ur other message meant now LOL my bad

[thorn hamlet]

Is it gonna cost 60 or 40

Cus i heard theres gonna be a discount

[winged hamlet]

$40 USD at launch

that's with the launch discount

afterward it goes up to $45 afaik

[spare lotus]

oof thats gonna be expaaaneeesive for me (australian player LOL)

[thorn hamlet]

Lets go

[versed summit]

What channel will be live tomorrow?

[winged hamlet]

given most new games are $60, that's a 1/3rd discount

that's a pretty hefty discount
